[40v4kq]

I dont see any videos yet and it is already tonight by now. Did I miss em? LOL. Glad to hear its back up and running again.

[85oceanic]

Alright guys here is your first taste of some Mexico runs. I feel like I hooned the living piss out of this thing, I am going to have to get used to living in the upper RPM range to make power. SO here ya go! OH and it's only running between 5 and 10 pounds right now.

The first video is my 2nd time out, sooo the speedo wasn't working... :/

The rattling noise you hear at the end if from my sunroof vent thingy flapping in the wind. (Nothing exciting happens after 1:10) If you notice that the temp gauge and fuel gauge aren't working in this video, that's because I think I unplugged them by accident when fixing the speedo. Those will get fixed tomorrow.

AAAANNNND just jump to 30 and wait for it...

I still have MUCH to do, but suffice to say, I am happy with it.

[loxxrider]

Awesome!
I need a report on turbo characteristics....how soon is it building the 10psi you're running now? Have you hit 500miles yet???!!! ;-P

[loxxrider]

Thanks guys!!! This car is sooo addicting HAHA! Right now I am trying to get some logs done so I can actually look at what's going on. It's hard to watch a laptop @ Woot. xD

[PRY4SNO]

Noice!

Sounds the business, especially on the flyby.

[85oceanic]

Pics from today... (sorry no vids)

[chaloux]

you have no gap. are those 17 or 18"?

[85oceanic]

you have no gap. are those 17 or 18"?

Those would be 17's. This thing is stupid low, but rides REALLY REALLY nice. SO I am just going to rework my front struts and go from there. This is MAYBE a summer project. Not sure yet though.

Lookin good Ben!
